British Airways: Strikes
(asked on 7th July 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of any strike action of British Airways staff on travel at airports in the summer; and what plans they have to prevent any further travel disruption if such strikes take place.
This question was answered on 20th July 2022
The aviation industry operates in the private sector, therefore an industrial action is a matter for British Airways and the unions.
Ultimately, this strike action by Unite the Union and GMB has been suspended following a higher pay offer from British Airways. This offer will now be put to a vote of union members.
